Who Should I Start? George Holani or Noah Cain

Monday, March 16, 3:20 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender on Monday, according to John Boyle of the team's official website. Holani qualifies as an exclusive-rights free agent because his contract is expiring and he has fewer than three accrued seasons in the NFL. He signed as an undrafted free agent out of Boise State in 2024. The 26-year-old played in 11 games in 2025 during the regular season and had 22 rushing attempts for 73 yards and one touchdown, adding two catches for 15 yards. He was on Injured Reserve with a hamstring injury but returned late during Seattle's run to the Super Bowl. With Kenneth Walker III now gone and Zach Charbonnet (knee) unlikely to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, Holani could have a prominent role in the Seahawks' backfield early on alongside Emanuel Wilson and whoever the team adds at the RB position in the upcoming NFL draft in April.
